One in Four Girls and One in Six Boys Are Sexually Abused By Their 18th Birthday

Play it Safe!® teaches children how to reduce their risk of being sexually abused.

Play it Safe!® is a child abuse awareness and prevention program that
incorporates age-appropriate scripts and movies to teach children how to
reduce their risk of sexual and physical abuse, and sexual assault. It teaches
them to recognize potentially abusive behavior, provides the tools to
respond to threatening situations, and encourages them to report abuse to a
trusted adult.

Play it Safe!® is an evidence-informed, age-appropriate risk reduction
program for Pre-K through high school age students. Since 1983, more than
1.5 million children in north Texas have learned about personal safety from
The Women’s Center’s Play it Safe!® program. Each grade level’s interactive
curriculum speaks to children in a way that they can best learn and respond.
